Europe riots: Italy sends in MILITARY to ‘DEFEND’ Milan from masked gangs as city TRASHED by thugs
Italy is sending 500 military personnel to defend Milan from rioting gangs, Giorgia Meloni’s government has announced.
Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said he was turning words into deeds after a promise to crack down on the riots.
After a weekend of street violence, which saw thousands of masked thugs loot and trash stores, set fires and attack police, the government brought forward an emergency decree that would ban public gatherings, extend preventative detention to minors and defer arrest for those committing criminal damage.

What a week in Washington! GB News is joined by political commentator Mally Smith to break down three major stories with consequences for America, Britain and the wider world.
First, we examine the U-turn over plans to livestream the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. Why did the proposal face such strong opposition, and could turning an execution into a public spectacle create propaganda opportunities for terrorist groups?
Next, we look at the growing tensions over Ukraine. Donald Trump’s reported diesel deal with Russia, the future of US intelligence sharing with Kyiv, Starlink and Starshield access, and the debate over pressure on Volodymyr Zelensky all raise questions about Washington’s approach to the war.
We also discuss the wider conflict with Iran, the challenge of negotiating with Tehran, and the strategic consequences of rising energy prices and relations with Vladimir Putin.
Finally, with the US midterm elections approaching, we assess whether Democrats are on course to take control of the House — and whether they could also make gains in the Senate. With voters increasingly focused on the cost of living, fuel prices and healthcare, could the economy prove decisive for Trump and the Republicans?

Labour MP Dame Emily Thornberry has told Andy Burnham to rejoin the EU without a second referendum.
Mrs Thornberry, who chairs the Foreign Committee, insisted the EU was not a “sacred cow” and those wishing not to talk about striking a deal should “get over it”.
“Why shouldn’t we talk about it when the majority of people agree with me that Brexit was a disaster, and we ought to get back into the European Union,” she told Sky News.
Labour MP for Halesowen, Alex Ballinger, responds to Mrs Thornberry’s comments.

While it sounds bad on the outset I do hope something is going to come off this gigga factory even tho it didn't come to be in this iteration
It's easy to blame government for not providing support but at the end of the day no one knows how a business would pan out tomorrow and you are essentially betting with tax payers money

This factory hasn't happened because nobody wants electric cars, the great climate emergency scam is starting to unravel, the private financiers know this because they knew it was a scam before we did. Also I live in the north east surrounded by wind turbines in every direction you look, rarely do you see all the blades turning, take today for example, I drove past a six turbine wind farm and not one of them was in operation, why..?? because there wasn't a breath of wind, millions of pounds of taxpayers money standing idle, putting nothing into the national grid, wonderful eh…

So they need 10 of these plants by 2030 and have built only one. They are too expensive and will never show a return on investment. That's why only one so far.

Is this the Manufacturer that received £100 Million in Government [ Taxpayers ] Money ? Did the Directors , like those from the Rover Car Company , walk away as Millionaires ? If there was Money to be made , the Entreprenuers would be lining up with their Backers , but , nowadays , just Spivs latching on to the Taxpayer Teats .

The real problem here is this whole industry is falsely based. Anthropogenic Global Warming is a load of rubbish, and that's becoming clearer and clearer as time goes by. If BEVs cannot stand on their own merits, what's the point?

You can guarantee it will be built from foreign investment & all profits will end up overseas & a few years down the line it will be closed & production shipped to Europe or China.

This head line graber is wrong, they have not lost hundreds of jobs as the factory has not been built yet, so obviously the jobs were not there

Such a pity this has to close, uk 🇬🇧 needs a production facility to produce ev battery's so not relying on overseas, just common sense !! Wish Mr Musk would come over here to make a giga facility , get it done properly as only Elon seems to know 😉 !!!

The British problem once again; lack of long term financial investment which allows foreign competition to steal the markets.
This venture is in the National interest and presses all the right buttons so why not have super attractive incentives to attract those ready to take a punt in return for possibly lucrative rewards.

The real story is Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Congo, and Niger are now refusing to sell lithium to cars, and battery manufacturers and rightly so they want Tesla and co to build factories in Africa
